GARMENT HANGER.

' Application filed October 27,1921. Serial No. 510,814.

My garment hanger 15 especially designed for use in clothes bags such as is partially g 1 illustrated in my Patent 1,285,336.

Many of the garment hangers now on the market are not well adapted for use in clothes bags, because they are objectionable either from the standpoint of weight or they have too long a hook, which reduces the effective length of the bag.

The object of my invention is to provide a garment hanger which is light, rigid, and of such construction that the garment on the 20. hanger is suspended relatively close .to the top of the bag whereby long garments can be suspended in the bag without touching the bottom of the bag. a The further object of my invention is to rovide such a hanger that will not collapse or bend under weight of the garment and to further provide such'a hanger with an which garadd'itional suspending bar upon may be ments, such for instance as trousers, so suipended.

' y invention consists in a garment hanger made froma single piece of wire bent upon itself intermediate its ends to form .a short, rigid hook, one end portion of the wire between said hook and its extreme end being coiled. intermediate its ends to produce a spring, the wire extending beyond said coil to function as a suspending bar for a garment, having a flat eye formed at its end so and disposed in a horizontal plane; the other )end portion of the piece of wire being suitably formed at its end with an upwardly disposed open hook positioned within the vertical plane of the arment hanger; and

with the object statecinnd minor objects,

my invention consists of the parts and combination of parts as will be hereinafter more fully set forth. 1,

- Figure 1 is a front elevation of a, garment 6 hanger embodying my invention, the trouser;

fashioned as is the against bending or according to m all sharp, angui par being shownin open position indotted mes. i

' Fig. 2 is an end view of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail sectional view on the line 3-3, Fig. 1. 7

Fig. i is a large detail view showing a formation of the suspensehook.

My improved hanger is made from a sin- 1e piece of wire which is twisted upon itself intermediate its ends at 1, and then formed into a hook as at 2. The portion 3 of the piece ofwire is formed to adapt it to receive a garment and is coiled to form a spring 4.- This portion of the wire is extended beyond the spring coil to form a garment bar 5, which terminates at its free end in the closed eye 6, disposed in a horizontal plane, as illustrated in t e drawings.

The other end portion 7 of the wire is portion 3, and is provided at its free end with anop'en hook 8, which opens u wardly and is disposed within the vertical p aim of the garment hanger.

As will be understood from the drawings, coats and the like may be hung upon the portions 3 and 7 of the hanger, while trousers and the like may be hung from the bar 5.

of the hanger is sustained collapsing under the weight of the garments hung thereon byreason of the hanger arm 5, which functions as a. compression member thereby maintaining the distance between the coil spring 4: and the hook 8 constant. 1

Another advantage of ositioning the hook 8 within the vertical plane of the garment hanger is to obviate the possibility of a arment becoming entangled and snagged by the hook, the garment hanger as made invention being free from ar projections at the points of contact with the garment and in the plane in which the garment would naturally-hang when suspended from the hanger.

What I claim is:

A garment hanger made from a single piece of wire twisted upon itself intermediate its ends to form a garment suspension hook, and coiled intermediate one end and 100 The body said hook to form a spring, the wire beyond the coil functioning as a. trouser bar and terminating at its free end in an eye, the other free end of the wire terminating in a hook positioned within the outside dimension of the ham or and in the longitudinal vertical, plane 0 the hanger, the eye of the trouser
